X-Ray Tomography Simulation Based on Direct Radon Transform

Abstract:

Nowadays, X-ray tomography is one of the most pertinent directions of the development of non-destructive testing methods. Besides the experimental setup to conduct the X-ray tomographic measurements, it is necessary to have stable and flexible software. In most cases, existing software packages for the reconstruction of tomographic data are not freeware. This makes tomographic experiments not flexible because of the restriction of the source code correction. This papers explains how to implement one of important parts of tomographic research, namely, experimental data simulation, which allows to test reconstruction algorithms further.
